Can I just say, I hate powdered sugar? No matter how careful I try to be, I make such a mess of it! Just one example: I had a dish towel full of the powdered sugar because that is how you roll up the pumpkin roll. I decided to go outside and shake off the mess. I walked outside, opened up the towel, and it was a disaster. The wind was blowing so it blew the sugar in my face, hair, and clothes, and then right into my kitchen because I left the sliding glass door open! Arghhhh! I hope my neighbors who live behind me weren't watching because it was pretty embarassing.
Anywho, I wanted to get glamour shots of my beautiful pumpkin roll, but forgot, so here is a picture of the leftovers.
After making the pumkin roll, I cleaned up my kitchen and went on to domestic project #2: Toffee.
My ward's Enrichment meeting is on Wednesday and the theme is "Holidays into Holy Days". For dessert, we are having a tasters table of everybody's favorite holiday treats. So, I made toffee because it's REAL good.
I had one trauma here: As I was pouring the friggin' hot toffee into the pan, a bunch of buttery steam hit my face and put a nice buttery coating on my contacts! Seriously, it was like I put vaseline on my eyes! And people wonder why I don't enjoy cooking...
So, after making the toffee, I cleaned my contacts, and then my kitchen and went on to domestic project #3: Nougat.
I can't very well bring my favorite holiday treat to enrichment without including nougat! We have made this every year at Christmastime for as long as I can remember. Plus, I wanted to try out a new candy wrapping method I learned from my friend. I think it makes the nougat look so cute! I put them all in a big tupperware container and it looks like a huge flower blossom! Precious.
Anyone hungry for some sweet treats??
